“A leading force for change, both for theatre and teenagers”
The Stage
I create plays and projects that celebrate happiness, human connection and the power of collaborative decision-making.
I bring young people and adults together to listen, learn and make change.
I share my practice through consultancy and training.
My current projects include:
In Isolation
An immersive exploration of school isolation booths and happiness, in partnership with Young Vic Taking Part and Kings College London.
Brainstorm
An extraordinary theatrical exploration of the teenage brain, originally produced at the National Theatre and on the BBC, now performed around the world by more than 700 organisations.
The Butterfly Tap
A new play blueprint capturing teenage happiness, as part of Wonderfools’ Positive Stories for Negative Times Project.
Youth Theatre Together
Building a national development organisation to support youth theatres in England and beyond.
My past work includes:
The Coronavirus Time Capsule
A ground-breaking digital record of lockdown, created during the pandemic by more than 3,500 teenagers in 17 different countries.
When This is Over
A play about hope and chaos, made with young people and more than fifty other companies across the UK. Winner of The Stage Community Project of the Year.
